sgency of that brand of cement on this
coast to control and put up the prices that
they had taken advantage of the situation
and had notified parties in this city of
the TACT by letter. Mayor Gregory stated
he had seen one of these letters. The
Board thereupOn rejected all bids. They
then modified the specifications, so as to
permit competition in the matter of cement
